Not sure how correct this is but based on my experiences, I have never used American crew products Pomade - makes your hair look greasy and oil Fiber - no clue Clay - I have something similar, it is matte finished and can dry style it. Adds alot of texture and can really chunk chunk your hair. Down side is that it hardly washes out so place it once and in there for two days. Wax - can style wet or dry but loses hold easily especially if you run your fingers through it alot. But works well and easy to get out. I use a wax or a moose and sometimes a clay, I rotate. If I am using wax I will sometime use a spray texturiser to hold it in place longer. I would by a small container and see what you like. One of my favorites is ARTec Textureline Material, also has a clean scent to it This is what I use If any of this is wrong or need more suggestions, please feel free to comment.
